                There are days that we don’t feel like exalting God even
in praise and worship precipitated perhaps by the death of a family member or
relative, but the Holy Ghost is not a thing to set aside. We need to recharge
the fire of the Spirit to allow it to burn in our hearts continuously. We need
to be strong that we can be pillars to lean on.

 Though
we face problems as such, we need not grieve the Holy Ghost that we might not
be empty. The oil of the Spirit should be kept burning. We can present to God
our sorrow and allow him to comfort us with the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost. Though we feel the loss of someone beloved, our spiritual life should
not be neglected.

 It
is these times that we give God his part to bring us into the spring of comfort
and encouragement through the brethren that shall sympathize with us. On the
other hand, the presence of the Holy Ghost is the part of God that shall give
you strength in time of sorrow. Through the refreshing of the Spirit of God, we
are made strong.

 God
promised us the Comforter that shall come to us, that shall speak of his
mysteries and shall keep us filled with the strength of God by the Spirit that
shall dwell in us and shall give us the power to witness of his glory and to
draw souls unto salvation. With the Spirit in us, Jesus who shall fill us with
the needed inspiration keeps us hopeful.

 The
glory of God is man fully alive not just in the time of happiness but also most
especially in the time of sorrow. When everyone is in pain, you don’t have to
be a pain. You should be shoulder and pillar to lean on. Though our hearts are
broken with the tragedy that came, we should not add to the misery that is
there.

 We
need to be sources of encouragement from a family member. We need to face the
pain that we may grow in morale and in the spirit. We need to include the part
of God to the sorrow that we feel. Our body should reflect to others the
presence of the Holy Ghost that we receive and is refreshed every time. We need
to be matured Christians.

 But
in the time that we need to be soft in the presence of God, we must pour unto
him our heartaches and sorrow for his Holy Ghost shall comfort us. God is a God
of order that shall help us distinguish the right spirit that can help us
whether it is human spirit or the Spirit of God. We ought to allow the Spirit
to move on that we may be filled.

 Then
on, the Spirit of God shall be our strength that shall help us spiritually in
everyday lives. Among various times, now is the right moment to grow in God, to
be matured Christians that shall spread the gospel here and abroad for the end
times is here. At whatever state of emotion we are encountering, we need to
submit to God.

 We
should also be workforce for truth and not workers of lies. We should act and
the time to do it is now for the spreading of the gospel that Jesus died, is
buried and rose again or in Christians idioms we need to repent, be baptized in
the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, and should receive the Holy
Ghost (Acts 2:38).

                  Like the beauty of the birds, so thus the
rainbow appears to paint the sky. The wonderful appearance of them refreshes
the feeling deep within where it soothes whatever hurt is kept and brushes aside
the loneliness that has stayed for sometime.

 Every time the rainbow paints the
sky, the beautiful morning reminds us that with the rainbow in our hearts the
color of life are made pleasant by changing our mood and keeping ourselves
happy. We cannot simply set aside the truth that in the time of problems there
is still a God that comforts us and renews our spiritual strength.

 By the presence of the Holy Ghost we
can’t deny the truth that we are not alone with God beside us. We are still
sitting side by side with the Master keeping our soul pleased by Jesus because
with him we are saved. With the presence of God, we are alive and still active
with the spirit healthy.

 We cannot just withhold our thanks
to God because in his comfort he allows us to rest in the fields of green grass
and leads us to quiet pools of fresh water. As in Psalm 23, The Lord is my
Shepherd: He gives us new strength and guides us in the right path where he has
promised. Even though we walk in valley of darkness, we shall not fear.

 The Lord is our strength, our
fortress and our sanctifier. With him as our fortress, we are protected like
what an edifice with strong walls does to us. With him as our sanctifier, the
building that protects us is made holy. We can be guided in all truth if we
only remain in him and the fortress is made beautiful with the birds and the
rainbow.

 As the rainbow appears it paints the
sky in all its beauty and we are reminded with the covenant of God that he will
no longer end the world by flood. A covenant to Noah and his family was a
covenant for good. We only fear, destruction by fire – one that is not an act
of God but would be an act of man. We pray it would not happen.

 After the storm, we need to move on.
We should look at the rainbow that we marvel in all its beauty. We need to do
our task again. We need to complete the painting in our heart. We need to
desire the truth that will make us feel complete. And that is to receive the
Holy Ghost with all its fire kept burning in our hearts.

 As the flood ended and the
appearance of the rainbow changes the story of the earth, the presence of the
Holy Ghost changes our life. We shall desire that which could cultivate our
soul and renew our heart. God is then making the colors that will amuse us, and
that is the colors of the rainbow that he paints in our hearts.

 In our heart are a song, and that is
the song of love for God and fellowmen. Every time we sing it we are reminded
how beautiful God has changed us with the receipt of the Holy Ghost. Catch the
beauty of the rainbow then. As it paints the sky, be reminded that God loves us
so much. Recall in all it details how he has protected us in many ways.

 As the beauty of the rainbow colors
our heart, paint it in the sky of love.
